The court held that the contractor had achieved substantial performance by the time the defendants occupied the premises and therefore was entitled to the withheld final payment subject to allowable deductions; certain variation claims by the plaintiff were allowed and many items of the defendant's counterclaim were reduced as inflated or unsupported by reliable quantification; retention monies are to be applied for their intended purpose; interest awarded at prime plus 1% from the writ.
